Hi

Issue with BOM explosion matl when creating a SO. Issue arises only when the following steps are followed.

I create a SO in the following way:

With all basic details filled, for items the following are the steps:

1. enter material# 1 in first line along with qty and uom

2. enter material# 2 in second line with qty and uom

3. enter materal# 3 in third line with qty and uom

press enter.

At this time the system prompts with a message saying the plant is not entered for the bom explosion. So i enter the plant for all the items and then save. Upon saving the sale order processing is aborted with the following error message "item 000021 already exists, the entry will be ignored ", message# V1338.

Have anyone came across this error and found a way to resolve?

pls share.

Hi

First rectify whether you maintained the Plant or not in BOM CS02

Refer SAP Notes :114722 and 106948

Dear Prabu,

If it is BOM material then no need to enter all subitems.

If you enter header material automatically system will explode the BOM i.e sub items will come. Based on the settings done in the item category of the header material.

So don't enter the subitems in the sales order just enter header material.

I hope this will help you,

Regards,

Murali.
